 Those students, who do not pass the final exam the first time, will be evaluated in the resits, which follow the same criteria as the first.

Non-attendance at the LBS practice in the corresponding timetable, according to the groups published in the LBS course, will result in a mark of 0 in the assessment.

No Honors will be awarded to those who take a resit.

Failure to attend the 2 compulsory classes in this subject will lead to a penalty in the final grade of the subject. Not attending one of the classes will have a penalty of 0.3 points and in the case of missing both sessions, it will be penalised with a reduction of 0.5 points in the final grade, so that the student could fail the subject due to non-attendance at the sessions.

In case the failure of the subject is caused by the non-attendance to these sessions, it can be recovered in the 2nd call, through the realization of an individual work with the themes of the sessions.

 

Honor Matrix Assignment Procedure (MH)

  1. The criterion for assigning Honorary Enrolments (MH) is based on the Excellent (9.0).
  2. The assignment is solely for the teacher and does not have to give it, even if the student has obtained a mark above 9.0.
  3. In case the teacher decides to award MH, he will not take into account the numerical mark and the highest, but will evaluate other factors. The HM might not match the highest numeric score.

Procedure for Non-presented Assignment (NP)

  1. To register an NP in the student's file, it must not have been submitted to any of the evaluation tests throughout the assignment.
  2. If a student has submitted to one of the evaluation tests, the corresponding percentages in the teaching guide will be applied, with a 0 in those not presented.

Procedure for plagiarism or academic fraud

Any assignment or activity (including exams) in which plagiarism, falsification or academic fraud is detected, will result in a failure of the activity and an academic sanction that will entail from the loss of enrolment rights in this subject, to the opening of a file process.
